Flight Plan not recieved?
I whent to Beuvais yesterday, on arrival we were accosted by the French Customs
Our flight plan hadnt been recieved by them and so the ensuing mess.....well you can imagine
After an hour of questions and telephone calls it was resolved in our favour. So i was thinking, do any of you have a fool proof method of confirming your flight plan has been logged? Is there a way to check on the net before you leave?
Any thoughts chaps?
Cheers S10L.

This is unusual, but a good bet to to bell BVA customs to alert them of trip as AIS/tower may not always pass fpl on. BVA customs on +33 3 44 45 08 92. For normal ops, depends how you file, do you file by phone, net or AIS? Either way it'll be in the system, just a matter of SNAFU, especially in certain Chambre du Commerce locations in France. A call ahead is always worth the effort subject to your type of traffic, sounds like you self handled, so always call,e-mail or fax ahead.
